Summer Festival 2024 - July

The Summer Festival is celebrated during Buddha Purnima every year. The steep rocks, tranquil lakes, picturesque locations, and the pleasant climate of Mount Abu make it an ideal location for the festival. The three-day festival is a feast of folk and classical music and a window to the tribal life and culture of Rajasthan. The festival begins with the singing of a ballad, which is followed by Gair, Ghoomar, and Daph folk dances which enthrall the spectators.

Sporting events such as the boat race on the Nakki Lake add variety to the festival. The Sham-e-Qawwali is a much-awaited musical extravaganza as renowned qawwali singers regale the audience. The grand finale of the festival is a display of dazzling fireworks which adds to the tourist's fantasy.
